Pool talk this week The second round of public engagement regarding the Sam Ketcham Pool in Williams Lake will be taking place from Oct. 11 to 13, at several locations around the city. The first session goes tonight (Thursday) at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex at 7 p.m. Consultants from Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants Ltd. (PERC) have been contracted to develop the pool feasibility study and will be setting up booths to engage with community members. They will showcase the new concept for the possible renovation of the Sam Ketcham Pool that has been modified based on information gathered during the last round of public consultations this past June.

Ladysmith Mayor Rob Hutchins is urging Williams Lake to learn from his community’s water mistakes. Congratulating the city on its receipt Tuesday evening of Adapting to Climate Change in the San Jose Watershed, a two-year study prepared by the Dept. of Forest Resource Management, University of British Columbia, that looked at potential impacts of climate change on forest resources and hydrology, Hutchins told council not to sit on the report, but to act on it. Hutchins also co-chairs the Cowichan Watershed Board. “Unlike you, we were not given the gift of a $400,000 study, sponsored by different levels of government. We were given a crisis.” In 2003, they were tasked to develop a watershed plan. It took three years, $225,000, and a lot of work. The plan was delivered in 2007, he said. “We received it and no action was taken,” Finally a flood in 2009 caused politicians around the table to act on it. “I’m asking council as politicians to begin thinking about their watershed. Unfortunately we left it too late.

Climate change is upon us. As the report presented to you tonight states, it impacts on our historical practices and how we build our communities. How we conduct agricultural and forestry practices is going to be changing and is already changing.” There are also changes in senior level of governments that have reached their capacity to help communities, he added. “In the Cowichan Valley our local governments needed to take a leadership role to restore the health of the Cowichan River Basin to ensure it’s there for future generations.” Those tactics included educating the community, raising awareness, developing partnerships, and working to protect a precious resource, one that has been historically squandered, he said. “It’s been rewarding to develop those relationships and gather a whole community to restore the health of the Cowichan River Basin.” One of the main things Hutchins advocated is for Williams Lake to install universal water meters. “It’s a powerful tool to conserve in changing times and it allows use as a tool to increase awareness. In our community water consumption has dropped.

“We used to be a glutton. Canada’s the second largest consumer of water in the world. BC is the highest consumer in Canada. Ladysmith was in the top 10 percentile of B.C.” Ladysmith installed the meters in 2002, after raising money through user and parcel tax. They had collected significant reserves so they had $3 million to invest without increasing tax dollars. “Our population has grown by 17 per cent since 2002. Our water consumption has dropped by over 25 per cent,” he said. When Coun. Surinderpal Rathor mentioned the city has a water advisory committee and asked if that’s a step in the right direction, Hutchins responded: “If you don’t have water meters you’re not there.” It’s not easy, but the community gets over it, he said. “There are a tremendous amount of leaks in the system that you cannot find. The meters helped find those.” Having meters has also made his community more eligible for grants because it can show it is actively conserving water. While in Williams Lake, Hutchins met with the authors of the report on the San Jose Watershed, and attended a meeting at the Cariboo Regional

District board office where the report was presented to people that have been there since the beginning of the project and people that represented special interest groups. “I want to encourage you when this comes to the regional table to take a leadership role. If you add your voice to our voice, the provincial government will listen to us,” Hutchins said. One of the report’s authors, Ken Day, told council the struggle now is to find the kernel to form a group that will move the report forward. “This cannot continue to be a UBC project, it needs to become a Cariboo project,” Day said. In the report, the authors suggested the information can help “catalyze a broader watershed management plan that takes climate change into account, while building on some ongoing processes and actions to improve the adaptive capacity of the system. “The information generated through the study can be used by water users, planners, engineers and decision makers to integrate climate change into regional and municipal planning and development.” Council unanimously received the report and referred it to staff to come back with recommendations of further steps.

City reacts to fire agreement Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer If the three new fire protection agreements materialize for residents living within the fringe areas, the city stands to lose approximately $172,000 in revenue, says a report presented to council Tuesday. In the report, the city’s fire protection agreement negotiating committee shows revenue will drop by going from a residential assessment agreement to a total assessment scenario. When the negotiating committee met on Sept 10, negotiations focused on council’s total assessment concept, stated the report. “The Cariboo Regional District, however, did discuss the option of trying to extend the existing fire protection boundaries of the 150 Mile House and Wildwood volunteer fire departments. This discussions resulted in the negotiating committee indicating that this may result

in reduced revenue for the city and that this is not what council had contemplated when it passed its resolution for a total assessment formula.” Alternatively, the committee felt the right and fair formula would be based on total assessment. Reacting to the report, Coun. Ivan Bonnell said there are no agreements in place. “The district’s going out to its people, which is totally within its right, to ask for funding authority based on these numbers on the assumption that they’ve got an agreement with the city to do this. We haven’t agreed to provide the service on that basis,” he said. There are two key aspects, Bonnell explained, “The existing agreement is based on residential assessment. That’s what it’s always been based upon. The cost to service residents, city or rural they are the same.” Go to the total assessment scenario, on

the city side, it puts the city’s industrial and commercial tax base into the pool, which offsets the rural resident costs, Bonnell said. “That doesn’t help the city taxpayer. We still have to pay for our roads, our police, our parks.” When Bonnell saw the $74 per 100,000 of assessment value the CRD suggested city taxpayers are paying for fire protection, he didn’t agree. “I told our director of finance to go back to the existing fire protection agreements and go through the assessment figures based on those agreements and I can tell you it won’t be $74.” After receiving the report, council passed a motion that city staff will contact the CRD and ask for a new agreement for rural fire protection for council’s further consideration. In the meantime, fringe area residents are going to referendum on Nov. 24. At that time residents

of Area D, E and a portion of the fringe area of Electoral Area F will be deciding if they wish to continue having their service provided by the City of Williams Lake Volunteer Fire Department (VFD). If this referendum is successful, affected residents would be paying up to $140 per $100,000 of residential assessment. If the vote is defeated, residents will no longer have fire protection effective Jan. 1, 2013. For residents in portions of Area F, that live within the 13kilometre service area of the 150 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department, the referendum question will ask if

residents wish to have their service provided by the 150 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department. If this referendum is successful, affected residents would pay approximately $68 per $100,000 of residential assessment. “Depending on the outcome of the referendum, we will need more information to move forward,” Mayor Kerry Cook said. Coun. Laurie Walters, a member of the negotiating committee, said when they were negotiating the agreement it was also under the assumption that the fringe areas were going to be included in the budget.

MORTGAGE NEWS Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) What is a HELOC? Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) are essentially revolving lines of credit secured against the market value of one’s home. A HELOC lets the borrower take multiple advances of the loan proceeds at his or her own discretion, up to the lender’s stipulated maximum loan-to-value. Loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is calculated by comparing the amount of the mortgage loan to the value of the property. The results of this calculation help to determine whether or not the applicant will qualify for a loan and whether the application will be for a conventional loan or a high ratio loan.

Oliver Street

The maximum loan-to-value of a HELOC in Canada is 80% of a property’s market value.

MARKET

Borrowers only pay interest on the money they use. They can pay down and re-advance the loan funds as many times as they wish.

Customer Appreciation Day

One big difference between a HELOC and a variable-rate mortgage is that HELOCs do not have guaranteed interest rates or terms. Their rate can technically change at the lender’s discretion.

Live Music & Free Giveaways Children’s Health and Clean Air

Cariboo Park Home Society

A variable-rate mortgage, on the other hand, almost always has a rate that is tied to the lender’s prime rate. So if prime does not change then one’s variable mortgage rate will generally not change.

NEWS Fire destroys hundreds of hay bales at Anaham Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Thanksgiving hit hard for a cattle rancher on the Anaham reserve west of Williams Lake. Harvey Petal woke up Sunday to learn the 551 round bales of swamp hay piled in his stack yard had been destroyed by fire overnight. With help from family and friends, Patel put up a fire guard, but later Sunday evening, the wind picked up, a spark jumped over the guard, and the fire spread, destroying some nearby grazing land. Land where the cows would have fended for themselves for a month or so before being fed the hay. “We had another stackyard on the same field, so

we were back there fighting the fire so the fire wouldn’t get to the other stackyard,” Petal says. Petal’s family completed haying in August and the bales were going to be part of the feed for his 400-head of cattle through the winter. Now they’ve lost around $27,000 worth of hay, and some of it was being stored there for other families. “The fire has impacted a few families,” he says. “We don’t know the time of the fire, it was probably set sometime after midnight. Our neighbour rancher phoned us in the morning, once it was daylight, and told us about the fire. He was driving near there looking for one of his cows when he saw the fire. The

stackyard is not near our home — it is about 15 kilometres away.” Alexis Creek RCMP attended the scene on Sunday, however, the constable on duty was unavailable for comment by press time. “I’m hoping someone will come forward with information to the RCMP,” Petal says, adding he suspects arson. Anaham chief Joe Alphonse says he doesn’t know the cause of the fire, adding it could have been combustion, it could be arson. “It was green hay when they baled it,” he says. “Half of the three km hay field also went up in smoke, when sparks jumped the fire guard. It was a pretty intense fire this late in the year.”

Police respond to more than 100 calls over long weekend Over the long weekend the Williams Lake RCMP responded to more than 100 calls for service. Complaints ranged from the usual nuisance and cause of a disturbance to intoxication, assault and theft complaints. Friday, Oct 5 Police were contacted at 3:30 a.m. and responded to an alleged stabbing inside a residence on Western Avenue. When police arrived they discovered a group of individuals at the front entrance. Inside the residence, a male was sitting on the couch. He ran to the kitchen to evade police and tried grabbing a kitchen knife. He was identified and arrested for breach of peace. He was found to be highly intoxicated, depressed, and had been arguing with his mother. While in the residence investigating this disturbance, police located a small marijuana grow operation. The mat-

ter is still under investigation. At 9:45 a.m. police responded to a report that a vehicle parked on Fifth Avenue South had been broken into some time after 11 p.m. the previous evening. A stereo and a laptop case with papers in it were stolen. Police would like to remind people not to leave valuables visible and unattended in your vehicle as these types of vehicles are easily targeted for theft. Police were dispatched at 1:15 p.m. to a complaint of a robbery in Boitanio Park. The complainant reported that three males had stolen his shoes from him in the park, as well as another pair of shoes in a box, and a bag from a local sports store. Followup investigation by police identified possible suspects. The matter is still under investigation. At 10:05 p.m. police responded to a report of

a disturbance taking place near a residence on Soda Creek Road, in Williams Lake. The complainant observed a native male around 18-20 years old looking into his backyard at his bike. When the complainant confronted the male, the male produced a knife. Despite being threatened with the knife, the complainant did not back down from the threat and the perpetrator fled the area to another residence. Police attended the residence and arrested a male for assault with a weapon and breach of undertaking. The matter is still under investigation. Saturday, Oct. 6 A worker at Cariboo Friendship Society called police at 12:44 a.m. to report that a female arrived to the centre with a cut on the nose and stated she was assaulted by a couple of people on the street. The complainant was

highly intoxicated at the time of reporting and there was a 30-minute delay in notifying police. No suspects were identified. The female was transported to the hospital by ambulance. Injuries included a broken nose. The matter is still under investigation by police. At approximately 2:15 p.m. police responded to a report of an an unknown male going to a residence on Highway 97 South and accusing the occupant of the residence of stealing his tires. The residence occupant said that he was threatened by the male with a silver 22 calibre handgun. The residence owner was able to provide police with a vehicle description and direction of travel when the perpetrator left. Subsequent investigation resulted in the arrest of a male for uttering threats, dangerous use of a firearm and possession

of a weapon dangerous to public. The matter is still under investigation by police. At 6:50 p.m. police responded to a single vehicle accident on Highway 20 at Sheep Creek hill. Police spoke with the driver of the vehicle involved who was driving eastbound towards Williams Lake when a deer ran out in front of his pick-up truck which was towing a camper on a trailer. The driver avoided hitting the deer but the trailer jackknifed, throwing the camper off the trailer and landing in the eastbound travel lane on Hwy 20. No injuries were sustained. Follow-up investigation by police revealed a number of infractions under the Motor Vehicle Act. Sunday, Oct. 7 An employee of Tim Hortons called police at 2:29 p.m. to report that a male was yelling and

screaming at staff in Tim Hortons at Hwy 97. Another male asked the perpetrator to leave, at which time the suspect grabbed the tip can on the counter of Tim Hortons and ran out. The male followed the suspect, watched him throw the tip can, and continued following him until police arrested the perpetrator for theft. He was taken into custody and held for court. The matter is still under investigation. Police responded to a report at 2:38 p.m. of an attempted theft of a truck from a residence on Moxon Place. The owner of the vehicle believes the attempted theft occurred between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. The back window of the Dodge truck was smashed, and the ignition had been tampered with. Nothing was stolen. Neither the owner or his daughter heard or saw anyone. No suspects

have been identified at this time. Monday, Oct. 8 At 11:36 p.m. police responded to a complaint of an assault that had occurred at the field behind Marie Sharpe Elementary School on Cameron Street and Third Avenue North. The complainant was with a friend when they were approached by three unknown males on BMX bikes. One of the victims was threatened with a knife and then punched in the face several times and the male assailants fled immediately after attack. The victim that was assaulted momentarily lost consciousness but refused medical treatment and left the scene with his father. Anyone with information or who may have witnessed this incident is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP Detachment or phone Crimestoppers.

Children’s health and air quality forum tonight at TRU in WL The Children’s Health and Air Quality information event is coming up tonight, Thursday, Oct.11 at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake. The public is invited to join Dr. Sarah Henderson, PhD, Environmental Health Scientist, BC Centre for Disease Control and Greg Baytalan, Air Quality Specialist, Interior Health for an informative presentation and discussion. The event is cohosted by the Williams Lake Environmental Society, W.L. Air Quality Roundtable, School

District 27 District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC), and Thompson Rivers University. The free evening starts at 7 p.m. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about air quality in Williams Lake, how it impacts children’s health, and simple actions you can take to improve it. Studies by Health Canada and community health departments have shown a direct link between air pollution and significant respiratory health effects. Children are particularly vulnerable to smog and poor air

quality because their bodies, lungs, and immune systems are still developing. For more information go to www.breatheasywilliamslake.org or www.sd27dpac.com/ Part of the Healthy by Nature movement. Following the event tonight, elementary schools and TRU will be encouraged to be idle free from Oct. 15 to 19 to further support the school district’s recent renewal of their Anti Idling of Engines Policy (#3516) for buses and equipment and the Vehicle and Equipment Idle Free policy of the City of Williams

Lake. Everyone is encouraged to join us and offer their support! Turning off your engine when stopped for more than 10 seconds is one of the simplest things you can do to minimize the health effects of vehicle exhaust, extend the life of your car, save money, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Vehicle emissions are the largest contributors to outdoor air pollution. Research indicates that Canadian motorists idle their vehicles an average of five to 10

minutes a day. Unnecessary idling significantly contributes to air pollution, which in turn worsens environmental and health problems, including the dramatic rise of childhood asthma. Many of the reasons you have for idling your car may be based on misconceptions, find out more and take action! This story is submitted by Tammy Keetch, air quality educator for the Williams Lake Environmental Society/ Air Quality Roundtable. She can be reached at www.breatheasywilliamslake.org.

Greyhound wants to reduce buses Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Greyhound Canada is proposing to reduce service on its Prince George to Vancouver run — a proposal that will affect Williams Lake. The company has filed an application, proposing that its current daily

minimum of three buses be reduced to two, and its weekly service be reduced from 42 buses to 28 for Williams Lake. Mayor Kerry Cook brought the information to council Tuesday evening, saying the public has until Oct. 17 to respond and voice any concerns.

“It’s a significant change that was brought to my attention in a letter we received Friday,” Cook said.

WILLIAMS LAKE CITY PAGE

PUBLIC NOTICE WATER MAIN FLUSHING

10 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO AVOID ATTRACTING BEARS TO YOUR HOME

The City of Williams Lake Water Division will be conducting cleaning and flushing of water reservoirs and mains starting Monday October 1, ending October 26, 2012.

NO GLASS IN RECYCLING CARTS PLEASE DO NOT put glass in the recycling cart. Glass in the recycling cart could end up broken. Broken glass spoils the recyclables and puts the workers who do the sorting at a great risk of injury. Instead of putting glass in the curb side recycling cart, it can be taken to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station or Canadian Tire.

Here are some easy do’s and don’ts that can assist everyone in making the collection of recyclables and solid waste easier for you, as well as the City of Williams Lake’s contractor.

DOs

Have the garbage/recycling cart at the curb before 7:00 am. Take the garbage/recycling cart off the curb the same day as it is collected. Put shredded paper in a bag. Loose paper may escape when tipping the cart. Record the serial number on the side of your cart to identify your cart from your neighbours. Ensure the lid of the cart is fully closed. Partially opened lids will not be picked up. Clean all recyclables before putting them in the recycling container.

DON’Ts

Don’t put your carts on the street the night before your collection day. The cart’s subject to vandalism. Don’t put the garbage/recycling carts any closer together than 1 meter. Don’t leave your cart on the curb. This interferes with snow removal or street cleaning. Don’t put your cart any closer than 2 meters from any obstruction such as vehicles or landscaping. Don’t take the carts when you move. The carts belong to that address, NOT TO YOU.

Avoid putting organic material, such as grass clippings, branches, or garden waste, in the solid waste cart. These items only add unnecessary weight to the solid waste stream and increase the costs for every resident in Williams Lake. This material can be brought to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station on Frizzi Road and dropped off free of charge. The only items that are permitted go into the curb side recycling cart are: 1. Paper products – office paper, magazines, newspapers. 2. Cardboard – corrugated cardboard and regular cardboard such as a cereal box. 3. Plastics – must have the recycling symbol on it and the number inside the symbol must be 1 through 7. No Styrofoam allowed. 4. Metal food cans – food or beverage containers. Note: all above mentioned products must be clean. Other recyclable material, such as glass, lead acid batteries, or propane bottles that cannot be put in the curb side recycling cart can be dropped off at the Central Cariboo Transfer Station. Even more recyclable items can be brought to several locations in Williams Lake that participate in the product stewardship program. A list of these companies can be found at the Encorp website (http://www.encorp.ca/cfm/), the Encorp toll free number 1-800-330-9767, or by calling the BC Recycling Hotline at 1-800-667-4321. Any questions can be directed to City Hall at 250-392-2311.

Welcome to our new junior council

Stumbling blindly into the future

ctober is Small Business Month. More than 98 per cent of B.C. businesses are small businesses, and they are the engine that drives our economy forward. I want to thank our local businesses for your hard work and our investment in our communities. You genFrom the erously support Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our fundChair raising Kerry Cook initiatives and sports teams, and genuinely make a difference in our community. Thank you. It was great to see Minister of State for Small Businesses Naomi Yamamoto Tuesday. I asked if the province would consider partnering with local agencies to establish a regional economic investment pilot project resources here in Williams Lake and the Cariboo that focus on business retention through active engagement with the business community on succession planning. I want to thank the Chamber for organizing the roundtable event. There is definitely an opportunity to partner with the Chamber in making Williams Lake a more business-friendly community. We welcomed our new Junior Council Tuesday night, made up of seven amazing high school students: Alexandra Dickens, Cody Haley-York, Ivona Ognjanova, Jaspreet Mattu, Nikita Rowat, Ryan LaBossiere, and Tanner Nickel. I look forward to working with them, and hearing their ideas, questions, and concerns. It is great to see our future leaders in action today! Welcome on board! I hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving weekend. It was great to have all of my kids and grandkids together again to enjoy good food and fellowship. One last reminder that the open house on the pool feasibility study is tonight from 7-8 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room. We want to hear from you! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Convenient deficit? When the B.C. Liberals released their first quarterly report of the 2012/13 fiscal year, it really signalled the beginning of the May 2013 provincial election campaign. It was Finance Minister Mike de Jongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first quarterly report and he announced former finance minister Kevin Falconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Budget 2012 announcement in February was already askew and showing a further $173-million deficit projection. It was blamed on the significant reduction of natural gas revenues, and it was something the NDP warned the government about during its Budget 2012 announcement. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the average citizen to believe any political party when it starts throwing a bunch of figures around, especially when they could be based on either best-case or worst-case scenarios. Budget predictions are like statistics. They are revealing, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the whole story. In B.C., we have seen governments fall because the opposition has convinced the electorate the ruling party was horrible at fis-

cal management. Later, the great unwashed learned that is was a falsehood perpetrated by the opposition. Conversely, we have watched governments convince us they are in great shape going into an election, only to have them admit a couple weeks after we voted that it was a lot worse than they told us. So, that brings us to last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement. There are a few possible scenarios. Some of them could be politically driven, and none of them look very good for the government of the day. Perhaps, the new projections are bang on and the New Democrats were correct in saying the B.C. Liberals were foolishly optimistic in their 2012 budget announcement. Perhaps, they are somewhat skewed to allow Premier Christy Clark to forego calling a fall sitting of the legislature to protect her new cabinet from public scrutiny, so they can work on the new budget that will be released just prior to the election. Perhaps, the new budget will show a miraculous recovery that will show us the B.C. Liberals are prudent fiscal managers after all. - 100 Mile Free Press

his week the BC Liberal government released its response to this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Committee on Timber Supply. The Special Committee consisted of both Liberal and NDP MLAs, and its final report represented the unanimous agreement between the two political parties. In essence, the government has accepted the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations and has MLA â&#x20AC;&#x153;committedâ&#x20AC;? Musings to act on Bob Simpson them. The overall intent of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond the Beetle,â&#x20AC;? is to keep harvest levels as high as possible for as long as possible in order to minimize any mill closures and job losses in the near to mid-term and to enable the rebuilding of the mill that burned down in Burns Lake earlier this year. To accomplish this feat the government will allow logging in areas currently set aside for other values. They will include â&#x20AC;&#x153;marginally economic standsâ&#x20AC;? into their annual allowable cut calculations, and they will pass legislation this spring to convert volume-based licenses to area-based tenures. These fundamental changes to B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forest management and forest tenure regimes will be done without an updated inventory or any additional funding for forest health and silviculture activities. Facing budget cuts in each of the next two years, the Minister of Forests can only promise that B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forest inventory will be updated over the next 10 years. In short, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to blindly stumble into a whole new forest management regime. We need to have the courage to face reality: the traditional forest sector is going to downsize, there will be mill closures and there will be job losses. We must undertake an immediate re-inventory of our public forests that takes into account the implications of climate change and analyzes the potential to take advantage of economic opportunities outside of our traditional timber markets. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Bears will eat meat, pursue people Editor: Re â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bears donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just eat â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;anythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? by Sandra Lynch-Bakken: Ms. Lynch-Bakken says that she has studied bears for 30 years and read all the biological literature written about them. Has she missed the book, Bear Attack by Gary Shelton? Shelton was a Bear Conservationist at Bella Coola. He has written three books about bears, and has conducted Bear Encounter Survival Training workshops. Shelton documents several incidents in which tree planters have been attacked because when they are bent over they appear to be suitable size prey for bears. Mr. and Mrs. Dunbarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Ian

(from Green Lake) was attacked by a black bear as he played in his back yard. His mother succeeded in fighting the bear off but it pursued her into the house. She again fought it off but it then went back into the yard and killed Ian. Some years ago Sven Satre, a Chilcotin rancher was on horseback, fell off, probably because the horse was spooked by a bear. The bear then killed and ate part of Mr. Satre and covered the remains. I know of two instances this fall in our area in which men were pursued by a bear. In both instances the men were able to get to their houses safely. We can assume that his intentions werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t friendly.

Our neighbour had two pigs. One was killed by a black bear this spring and the other so badly wounded that it had to be put down. Last year a man on Fox Mountain was attacked by a black bear and fortunately he had his hunting knife and was able to defend himself. Some years ago we had a calf that was attacked by a bear. Punctures went under the back bone and came out the other side. Vegetation makes up the bulk of their diet, however, they will eat meat when they can get it and some of them will actively pursue animals, including humans. Margie Kaufman Soda Creek, B.C.

Conservation officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; handling of bears understandable A friendly reminder that all columns and letters represent the authorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opinions, and do not reflect the opinion of the newspaper.

LETTERS ALWAYS WELCOME

Editor: What were the Conservation Officers to do? They made a decision to kill the bears versus relocation knowing the consequences of their actions would be judged in the court of public opinion. They did not have time on their side unless they chose to do nothing. Had the â&#x20AC;&#x153;do nothing approachâ&#x20AC;? been used and there was an attack on a person they would have been convicted in the above court!

Enter Zimmerman, Laffey, and Mikuse, loyal members or imposters of the Bear Whisperers Society. The press elected to print their letters in opposition to the killing of these bears using the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;slaughtered,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;sickened,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;innocent mother,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;shooter mentality.â&#x20AC;? Have they ever tried to haze a bear? Have they ever made themselves available to â&#x20AC;&#x153;hazeâ&#x20AC;? bears? Have they ever submitted their strategies to the Conserva-

tion Service? Hazing a single bear is one thing, but a mama and three cubs? Trapping and sedating pose similar problems. Interestingly the press elected to publish letters from Kamloops residents. Apparently no offence was taken to this â&#x20AC;&#x153;bear management approachâ&#x20AC;? by the residents in the area surrounding Wildwood including Williams Lake. Bear spray is used as a defense mechanism within close proximity.

Bear spray is just another version of Oleo Capsicum Spray (used by Police and Peace Officers) but coming in larger containers. It is very wind sensitive thus the user becomes contaminated, and its use as part of the hazing process goes to show the ridiculousness of that presentation. The hazers would have to walk through the residue thus suffering more than the bear(s) but that would be their choice. Mel McIntosh Abbotsford, B.C.

NEWS

Renner Road residents oppose townhouse proposal After hearing from concerns from local residents about the possible development of townhouses in the 1900 block of Renner Road, off South Lakeside,

city council is going to ask developer Richard Crowell to amend his application. Crowell will be asked to reduce the rear yard

setback requirements, limit the density for the lot to a maximum of six units, and that his design provide additional onsite parking.

City planner Liliana Dragowska’s report included a petition opposing the development signed by 49 people and several submitted letters.

Concerns raised included road safety due to the existing road width, restricted access for emergency vehicles, increased traffic flow, parking limi-

tations, overall existing community fit of a six-unit townhouse, lack of pedestrian accommodations, and the lack of a safe and quick south exit off of

South Lakeside Drive. If Crowell amends his plan, then the development will proceed to a public hearing, possibly some time in November.

Olympians inspire lakecity

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League Basketball

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Two Olympians were in Williams Lake last week speaking to children and adults about their lives leading up to London and the obstacles they overcame to get there. Williams Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tim Rees, who competed in blind judo at the 2012 Paralympic Games, and Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan Cochrane, who won a silver medal for Canada at the Olympics in the 1,500-metre freestyle, spoke to more than 500 children and 100 adults about perseverance, dedication and hard work Friday in the lakecity, wrapping up in the evening with a fundraising dinner hosted by the Williams Lake Blue Fins at the Longhouse. There, both Rees and Cochrane told their stories. Rees, 32, grew up in Williams Lake and was a former member of the Blue Fins prior to moving away to complete a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in applied mathematics. When he discovered the sport of judo he began training and setting goals. He spoke about his experience at the Games, surrounding himself with positive people, managing problems and overcoming obstacles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have to deal with big obstacles in life, and going blind is a fairly big one but there are things that have

helped me deal with it,â&#x20AC;? Rees said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The three major things are to have supportive and positive influencetype people around you, break down a big problem into smaller problems, and just being able to remain determined and focused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a solution around a problem if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to look at it the right way. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to go over the brick wall, you can go around it.â&#x20AC;? Cochrane, who spent time Friday afternoon and Saturday morning in coaching sessions with Blue Fins swimmers, spoke about setting goals and how to achieve them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most important thing for me when I was growing up were shortterm goals,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of kids dream about the Olympics, which is a great dream that a lot of kids should have but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a small amount that will actually get there. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want that to sound diminishing but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about working towards goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I wanted to be an Olympian, I also wanted to make provincial championships, and it just progressed from there.â&#x20AC;? He went on to talk about how a change in mentality needs to happen to increase Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in the sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I swim I want to make every swimming community in Cana-

The mentality of athletes that actually want to go to the Olympics with desire in their eyes is something we need to instill in the younger athletes.â&#x20AC;? Williams Lake Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb said the benefits his swimmers will take away from the day are immeasurable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great message for every-

one,â&#x20AC;? Webb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it benefits not only swimmers but anyone that comes in contact with these athletes. I think you come away feeling a little more motivated and energized about swimming and life after hearing these guys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The benefits were unimaginable, I think. If a couple kids took that message and changed their habits, or focus, or life, then the effects are priceless.â&#x20AC;?

The Williams Lake Stampeders scored three shorthanded goals and battled back from a 3-0 deficit Saturday to stun the Lac La Hache Tomahawks on their own home ice, 6-5, in a shootout. The Tomahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Don Nicholas opened the scoring on the power play just prior to the two minute mark before Grant Johnson and Wade Balbirmie (power play) sent the Tomahawks up 3-0 heading into the second frame. The Stampeders got on the board near the seven-minute mark of the second period when Nathan Zurak scored his first of the season on the power play, beating Lac La Hache netmind-

er Willie Sellars, before defenceman Brent McIsaac cut the deficit to one short handed. Tomahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forward Wilfred Robbins sent his club up two goals heading into the third period beating Stampsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; netminder Justin Foote with eight minutes remaining in the frame. There, Matt Lees scored the Stampsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second short handed goal of the game before, just under a minute later, Dylan Richardson tied the game at 4-4. Lees, on a setup from Richardson, added his second of the night minutes later at the 12:19 mark of the third. Nicholas added the game-tying goal and his second of the evening

with five minutes left on the clock to send the contest to a shootout. Williams Lake bench boss Cliff Philpot called on three of his goal-scorers in the shootout â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Richardson, Lees and Zurak â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while Tomahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach Al Navrot went with Robbins, Nicholas and Robin Gilbert. Both Lees and Zurak converted on their attempts, while only Nicholas was able to beat Foote, giving Williams Lake the 6-5 win. Shots on goal were 38-32 in Williams Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favour. Other results from around the Central Interior Hockey League Saturday had last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Coy Cup Champions, the Smithers Steelheads, lay a 9-3 drubbing on the Omineca Ice. The Terrace River Kings duplicated the Stampedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; effort, winning 6-5 in a shootout over the Houston Luckies, and the Kitimat Ice Demons downed the Prince Rupert Rampage, 6-1. The Stampeders return home to the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex this Saturday, Oct. 13 to play the first of a seven game homestand against the Ice Demons. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m. The following day, Oct. 14 at 1:30 p.m., Williams Lake hosts the Rampage.

sports Horsley plays at softball nationals Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Stephanie Horsley is just coming off her second season as a member of the University of Regina Cougars womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball team. The 19-year-old Williams Lake softball pitcher recently helped lead her team into the Canadian Collegiate Softball Association National Championships, squaring off against the top eight teams in the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an amazing experience,â&#x20AC;? Horsley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since our season is so short itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really jam-packed but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tons of fun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met lots of people, played so many great teams and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been an awesome experience.â&#x20AC;? The CCSANC began in Regina on Saturday, Oct. 6 and wrapped up Monday, Oct. 8 following a 30-game regular season over the first six weeks of the school year. The Cougars finished

the tournament sixth out of eight teams with one win and three losses. Horsley, who said she prefers to come off the bench in relief, was called to the mound in three of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four playoff games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did as well as we were expected to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re quite a young team. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re primarily made up of first-year players. Out of the 20 players we have on our roster only seven are returning players.â&#x20AC;? The Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; win came as a 9-2 triumph over the University of Lethbridge Storm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also had a very close game and almost came back against the University of Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were down 6-0 after the first inning and then I came in and pitched and we managed to hold them off until the seventh inning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ended up playing in three of the games. I started one and pitched in three total.â&#x20AC;?

Horsley, who plans to return to Williams Lake this summer for her third year as a coach in the Williams Lake Minor Fastball Association, said she honed her pitching skills at a young age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned when I was really young â&#x20AC;&#x201D; probably when I was four or five,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad would take me out and practice with me and spent hours and hours helping me be the player I am today.â&#x20AC;? In the summer Horsley also attended the Canadian Open Fastpitch Championships in South Surrey as a member of Team B.C. She was the only player north of Kelowna chosen for the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ended up coming sixth out of nine teams,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the teams there were ladies teams so they were much older and much more experienced than us, so we did pretty well.â&#x20AC;?

Lakecity student volunteers with Live Different Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Many students take a gap year between high school and university to get acquainted with the working world they will inherit after university or college. This summer Carina Mutschele embarked on a gap year with a non-profit organization called Live Different. After graduating in June, Carina was all set to go to the University of Victoria in the fall. But on short notice she was invited to participate in a ninemonth volunteer sojourn with Live Different/Hero Holidays (livedifferent.com) based in Hamilton, Ontario. Live Different is a movement aiming to empower youth to realize the significance of their lives. Within a couple of weeks Carina made the decision to use her savings to help fund her participation. The first part of the Live Different program involves travelling across Canada with her team for four months giving presentations in high schools throughout the country. These motivational assemblies focus on allowing students to understand the value of their lives and getting them to realize that they have the power to make a difference in the world. The theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show is called Somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gotta Give. The presentation focuses on getting students to realize that they are not alone, and that no matter what obstacles stand in their way they have the power to do something significant with their lives. The presentation also focuses on volunteering abroad in Thailand, Mexico, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, building houses and working in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Live Different is a youth movement challenging ourselves and others to consistent acts of love, hope and change - both large and small. We believe that a changed heart can truly change the world,â&#x20AC;? Carina says. After Christmas, Carina and her team will travel to Baja California, Mexico for four months to work in the community, build homes, help with the Hero Holiday trips, and teach English in schools. Carina knows that she wants to work in the humanitarian field after her post secondary education and feels that this year will help her get a better idea of what she wants to do. She will be attending the University of Victoria in the fall of 2013 to study the social sciences. Carina has been on the road, doing the presentations in high

She loves having the incredible opportunity, every day, to inspire students across the country.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I absolutely love this program and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere else I would rather be and nothing I would rather be doing,â&#x20AC;? Carina says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an incredible experience to be able to inspire other students across Canada. I have never been happier and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how lucky I am to have this incredible opportunity.â&#x20AC;? Carina heard about Live Different in a presentation she had seen at Columneetza Secondary School a couple of years earlier and from some friends who told her about their experiences with Live Different/Hero Holiday. She was so inspired by the presentation that in the summer of 2011 Carina went to Trujillo, Peru for a month on her own to volunteer at a school in the slums of the city with an organization called Bruce Peru. Live Different team members are expected to contribute $8,000 each toward the cost of their volunteer work to help defray the cost of travel, housing and food, and the purchase of building materials for the houses in Mexico. Carina was able to pay for about half of it with the money she earned during high school babysitting, working at a gas station in Horsefly and at Laketown Furnishings in Williams Lake. So far she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure whether sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to complete the second semester of the volunteer program due to the expenses, and so she is asking the generous and supportive community of Williams Lake for donations to help fund the second half of her volunteer mission. Carina would gratefully accept donations of any sort, whether it be Airmiles (to help pay for flights to and from Hamilton) or money, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am in awe of my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm and determination, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring to see how she is following her dreams,â&#x20AC;? says her mother Carmen Mutschele. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carina has always been able to see the bigger picture and has a strong sense of social justice which drives her desire to help those less fortunate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carina just told me the other day that she created a vision board in one of her high school classes last year, showing an image of herself speaking on stage to a room full of people, and she was dumbfounded to realize after her first presentation at a high school in Kitchener, that the picture on her vision board had become reality.â&#x20AC;? People can contact Carina for donations through her family at Horsefly at P.O. Box 364, Horsefly, B.C. V0L 1L0 or by calling 250-620-3789 or by cell at 250267-9943.

Community arts council encourages new membership Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Community Arts Council has been working to promote and support arts and culture in the community since 1969. With the council’s annual general meeting coming up this month, president Kimberly McLennan encourages more arts organizations and individuals to join the organization. “The arts council is here for all community members,” McLennan says. “It is a great way for artists or anyone with an interest in the arts to get involved with and support arts and culture in our community.” She encourages interested people to attending the annual meeting that will be held Monday, Oct. 17 starting at 7 p.m. in the Central Cariboo Arts Centre. Elections will be held for president, vicepresident and treasurer. The arts council currently has 13 member groups. They include the

Williams Lake Spinners and Weavers, Cariboo Art Society, Cariboo Potters Guild, The Potato House Society, Station House Gallery, Youth Fiddlers, Williams Lake Community Band, Cariboo Festival Society, Friday Farmers Market, Quintet Plus choir, Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, Studio Theatre Society, and The Museum of the Cariboo Chilcoltin. Member groups are encouraged to have a representative attend the monthly meetings, but individuals from the public who may just have an interest in being involved in the community can also serve as directors, McLennan says. Some of the community events the arts council and its members have been involved in supporting during the past year include the Canada Day celebrations, Howdy Williams Lake Day, Stampede Street Party, Children’s Festival, and Performances in the Park. “I would encourage

those with interest in the community to get involved,” McLennan says. Member groups benefit from the support, promotion and collaboration of being involved in arts and culture activities and events happening in the community. Member groups also receive the benefit of group insurance and various funding opportunities. Membership fees are $60 for groups, $25 for families and $10 for individuals. Fees and fundraising help to defray administration costs, costs of participating in community events and subsidize arts and culture workshops. As an organization with charitable status, McLennan says the arts council has the ability to apply for grants and has received funding from various organizations such as the BC Arts Council, The City of Williams Lake, BC Gaming, and from the Cariboo Regional District via the Central Cariboo Arts and Cul-

ture Society. “The arts council continues to pursue funding opportunities on behalf of members when they are available and appropriate,” McLennan says. While there has been some talk of doing away with the Williams Lake Arts Council since the Central Cariboo Arts

and Culture Society was created a couple of years ago, McLennan explains that the two organizations have different functions. The Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society does not hold charitable status and its function is to administer the Cariboo Regional District’s Arts and

Culture function and to manage the Central Cariboo Arts Centre, while the arts council’s role is to work on behalf of its members. “The Arts Council is here to support all arts and culture groups in our diverse community, including the surrounding areas where I know we have a wealth of

individual artists, cultural and artists groups that could benefit from membership,” McLennan says. She says it would be great to see the arts council thrive and move forward in supporting arts and culture in the community even becoming an economic driver for tourism.

gifts, show shirts and show harnesses. On the Father’s Day Sunday, the Miocene community has a breakfast, lunch and barbecue dinner with an auction in the afternoon. Our club helps with the auction and the lunch. This is all held at the Miocene Community Hall. In June, our beef members get together and have a cow camp, where members learn how to bathe, blow dry, clip and show their steers and female beef projects. The members usually enjoy this and it is a fun time for everyone. At Stampede, our club puts a float in the Stampede parade. Every morning of Stampede we also do the grand stand clean up. So we clean up the grand stands after all the rodeo performances. In late July, we have our club achievement day. This is when all the members get together at the Miocene Community Hall at the barn, and we show our animals as a club. This usually is a spread of two days because we have so many members and so many projects. This year it took us four days, because there is no arena

Hey all, this year was a full and exciting year for all of us 4-H members. We started the year off in January for registration. Following that was what we all dreaded – speeches. We had our club speeches in February and had some really amazing speakers who went on to the district speech contest. From there, we even had a member go on even farther! Well, we had our monthly meetings which are every second Wednesday of the month. We meet and talk about what’s going on and get to meet with our project leaders and talk about our projects and how they are doing. At Easter every year we have our petting zoo at Boitanio Mall. Everyone can come and look and pet all the animals they want for just a small donation. We do a variety of fundraisers throughout the year to raise money for our club to pay for things that the club needs or to replace certain things that we have. Things such as ribbons, clippers, buyers’

Photography was done on a Wednesday night because we had so many photography kids and not enough time on the Saturday to do it. After all this, it’s the time all the kids look forward to all year, the Williams Lake and District 4-H Show and Sale. This year it was held from August 17 to 22. Most of the 4-H families camp at the stockyards so the kids are there to take care of their animals. This year our club did really well, coming out with the many winners from a lot of projects. Then, the Wednesday night was the sale and the wrap up of the show and sale. Our club would like to thank everyone who came out to the show and sale. And thank all our sponsors for the trophies and most of all, all the buyers who came out and purchased one or more sale projects. Without your support this would not be possible. Our last club event will be our awards banquet on Oct. 20. We are having a dinner, awards

“They call the Cariboo home” Retired principal gives back to the region he loves Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer John Dressler was constantly drawn to the Cariboo even before he arrived to live in Williams Lake 35 years ago. Fascinated by the stories of the Cariboo by Paul St. Pierre and Rich Hobson, he found their writing filled with interesting and exciting details about what it was like to live here. “I wanted to do that,” he recalls. For him being outdoors in the Cariboo is a part of every day life. “You can’t be a city dweller if you live in the Cariboo. Even the city folk run out of city very soon and encounter trees, expanses and vistas. That’s probably what I like most about it. That and the fact it’s a small and manageable city. If you go down to the Lower Mainland you see such rapid growth. It’s an impersonal kind of environment.” Dressler grew up on the Prairies in Alberta until he was 15 when his family moved to Maple Ridge. “We moved in 1953 — I did my teenage and adult years in the Fraser Valley,” Dressler recalls. He attended the University of British Columbia, pursuing a degree in international studies and literature. He worked for the Ministry of Forests when there was an inventories branch in regions like the Kootenays or Northern B.C., but never came to the Cariboo, until 1977, when he accepted a position as principal for Anne Stevenson Junior High School. He remained in the principal position for 17.5 years. The last year and a half he was at Williams Lake Junior High School, when it was in the process of being replaced

For 35 years John Dressler has loved living in the Cariboo. A retired principal, Dressler enjoys the challenge of volunteering in the community, hopeful that he can help to make Williams Lake a better place for his grandchildren.

by a new school. “I worked as a planning principal on that project and then when construction was ready to go ahead I had to make a decision. Do I make a five-year commitment to see the construction phase completed and the programs in place in the school up and humming or do I retire?” He was within a year of retirement so he retired slightly early, but at the right time. Looking back, he says he liked going to work every day. There were worries and stresses, however, he has marvelous stories about those years. “Young people in junior high are at an exciting time in their lives. They could be so gratifying and unexpected at times.” He says he is watching the present configuration discussions with intense interest because those decisions will affect his grandchildren. “That’s my present job, looking after my grandchildren’s world.” Today he encounters students that he knew by being involved with education.

“I run into many young adults who now have their own families who knew me as a principal. I knew them as a student. We see each other now as community members. It’s probably one of the most gratifying community experiences.” After retirement in 1996, he went to work for the Pacific National Exhibition as the agriculture director. He and his wife, Claire, spent a few years living in Surrey, while he worked in Vancouver. “I was the Lower Mainland commuter and after almost two years I concluded it was not a lifestyle I could endure so we came back to the Cariboo. We hadn’t sold our house so it was really fortunate.” Their home is at Russet Bluff on South Lakeside, a spot he describes as rustic and peaceful. “I’m the last house nearest the bluff. I can step outside my door and go straight up to it. It’s a wonderful getaway.” Upon their return the couple embarked on four or five years of being “idle” retired

people. “We travelled, read, enjoyed life and then somehow it seemed as if there had to be more to it than that,” he recalls. He became involved with the Council of Canadians, Elder College, the Williams Lake & District Credit Union board, and the city’s water advisory committee. In 2007, when the city considered turning the management of its water supply system to EPCOR of Edmonton, there was great public concern and intense debate, Dressler says. “A committee studying it came up with a number of recommendations, one that there be a permanent water advisory committee to stay in touch with what’s happening with the water system. The most significant recommendation was the city’s water supply system remain in the city’s hands.” Since the inception of the Elder College at Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake Campus in 2003, he’s taught courses there on Canadian literature, amazing

women, how to be a biographer, and most recently has led a sequence of Philosopher Cafe sessions. “This current academic sessions class just started on Oct. 2, with 13 people for the Philosopher’s Cafe. I don’t lecture. I simply facilitate a seminar discussion of people with wisdom and experience who offer so much. We have good times. The focus is on what it means to be an elder.” At the first session, one participant said elders need to become more active and Dressler’s convinced an elder brigade could very well emerge as a community force because the right ingredients are there. It’s incumbent for seniors to become involved, he says. “I think our generation made a terrible mess of progress. We were so greedy and consumptive that we have an obligation to do something for our grandchildren’s world. Some people describe it as mortgaging the future of succeeding generations, but we’ve done more than mortgage it, we’ve stolen from it. We better try and fix that in the time that we have left. My responsibility is to do something worthwhile, even if it’s small.” Ultimately he hopes his volunteer efforts might help make a difference in the community to make it a better place. A place for his children to live in and for his five grandchildren to want to live in. To his great fortune, three of his four children are living in Williams Lake, he adds. Matthew works for Wise Windows and Doors, Kirsten is a mental health counsellor in the community, Leif lives in Sidney, Nova Scotia, and Kirk is the economic development officer for the Williams Lake Indian Band.
